The announcement introduces a developer preview of a JCache specification implementation using Couchbase Server and the Java SDK 2.0, which aims to provide a standard API for caching that allows developers to easily swap implementations. Although the implementation is a work in progress, basic operations and configurations are functional and available through a Maven repository. Developers can experiment with the preview, which relies on the CouchbaseCluster and Bucket from the Java SDK, and configure caches using CouchbaseConfiguration. The preview encourages feedback and contributions from the community, with areas such as statistics gathering, locking, and support for additional features still under development. The implementation supports both shared and dedicated bucket configurations and expects users to create views for listing cache items.
